TyroneLissan (Tyrone)

Hello,

I'm looking for information on my grandfather's parents (James McCann & Catherine Donnelly). They were married on 9 June 1867 in the Moneymore RC Church, Lissan, District of Desertlin (Moneymore).

James McCann was born abt 1834 in Loughinsholin, Ballybriest, d. 26 June 1907 in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, UK.

Catherine Donnelly was born abt. 1844 in Caneese, d. 13 August 1924 in Philadelphia, PA, USA

Their children were: Arthur, b. 8 Sept 1868 in Derry; Mary, b. 17 April 1870 in Ireland; Sara, b. abt 1875 in Barrow-in-Furness, UK; Charles J. b. 31 Jan 1875 in Barrow-in-Furness, UK; Catherine, b. abt 1878 in Barrow-in-Furness, UK; Patrick Joseph (my grandfather), b. 4 Jan 1883 in Barrow-in-Furness, d. 8 Dec 1959 in Brookline, PA, USA; Francis, b. 11 Dec 1884 in Barrow-in-Furness, UK.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jim McCann

for further assistance?

 Do you know much about their emigration? Dates, the reason why they left, etc.? Generally more information was given at the port of arrival rather than the port of departure. If you knew which city they arrived at (e.g. Liverpool), this could be a good place to find more information.

 

Remember to post as much information as you can regarding the people you are researching. The more information you post, the more likely it is that one of our volunteers will be able to advise or assist you. Also include information concerning which sources you may have already used so others may further your search.

Please make sure you link anyone else in your family who is interested in their Irish heritage to our site - and indeed anyone else you know of Irish heritage.

Kind regards,
